    Subject[patch 07/22] bnx2x: Calling netif_carrier_off at the end of the probe
    2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

    ------------------

    From: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com>

    commit 12b56ea89e70d4b04f2f5199750310e82894ebbd upstream.

    netif_carrier_off was called too early at the probe. In case of failure
    or simply bad timing, this can cause a fatal error since linkwatch_event
    might run too soon.
